Rescued The Captives (Part 2)

When the Warlock heard that there was still a priest in Lindblum City, he became quite unhappy and wanted to leave immediately.

Viscount Hereford quickly stopped the Warlock and sent someone to inform Father Joseph that a Warlock had arrived in the city.

Because the Warlocks were unhappy about having a priest in the city, they wanted Father Joseph to leave immediately, and they were planning to demolish the church.

Father Joseph was willing to leave Lindblum City, but demolishing the church was something he couldn't tolerate, so he opposed Viscount Hereford's men.

The baron's men felt that since they now had a Warlock, they didn't need a priest any more and were determined to drive Father Joseph away.

Since Father Joseph refused to leave, they forcibly beat him and took him away.

Everyone heard Viscount Hereford's orders.

Those whom Father Joseph had treated looked on helplessly, and no one offered to help.

Father Joseph lay on the ground, covered in blood, and looked around weakly.

He saw that everyone around him was staring at him with blank expressions.

Among them were people he had once used his magic to save and others who had once been very grateful to him.

Now, they all looked at him like he was a stranger.

It was a pity that, despite Father Joseph having used magic to save so many people, no one was able to save him in the end.

By the time Father Barry arrived with the news, it was too late.

Father Joseph had been beaten to death by Viscount Hereford's men.

He didn't even get the chance to use a healing spell on himself; he died so easily.

Father Barry knew that Viscount Hereford's men were the ones who were responsible for that, but what could he do?

Viscount Hereford was the lord of the land, a rightful noble.

People like them who are seen as "heretics," couldn't do much.

They might end up with the same fate as Father Joseph if they acted out of line.

Father Barry could only quietly collect Father Joseph's body.

Fortunately, after learning that his men had killed Father Joseph, Viscount Hereford felt a bit guilty and didn't dare to further attack the church.

The Warlock, upon hearing of Father Joseph's death, no longer brought up the idea of leaving.

The matter was settled like that.

With a heavy heart, Father Barry buried Father Joseph, cleaned up the church in Lindblum City, and returned to Ulon Town with the remaining items from the church.

Many churches, like Father Joseph in Lindblum City and Father Barry in Ulon Town, find no one willing to become priests after they are gone.

Once they die, the churches fall into disrepair, and no one remembers their existence.

Father Barry sighed and talked about what happened back then.

Hanjun squinted and thought for a moment, saying, "It's that Viscount Hereford again."

Viscount Hereford was involved in the incident at the Ulon Town quarry, and now it seemed he was just a ruthless, self-serving person who only cared about his own interests.

This kind of useless person not only brought no benefit to the people in his territory but also tried to exploit them.

What kind of lord is he?

Now that Hanjun understood what kind of person Viscount Hereford was, he started thinking about Lindblum City.
